Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app Ooh, a manhunter, I should say,
a woman hunt in Ohio right now. Police are on
the look for a woman. She broke into her boyfriend's home.
And how do I put this? Gently cooked something, stole
(00:27):
something eight something. She performed an amateur surgery on him
with a sharp object in the area of the groin,
leaving at least one of them exposed.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Had to go to the hospital right away. She bobbited him.
She got into the genitals, not the penis. Hmm. Okay,
And she's on the loose. Deorchidization orchid like the flower.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yes, yes, somebody who has multiples of that you call
them a poly orchid?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Oh? Why didn't know that? Yes? Why are you making
a connection between orchids? I didn't make then. I didn't
make up the word.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Wait, Polly, if you have two balls, you're an orchid.
If you have three, okay, Well he didn't have three,
he had the normal two.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Okay, but he can be Well. I don't know where
we're going. Why are we arguing with this? It's a
weird hill to die on right there? Tell you what
what else is going on?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Gets really tight? You go, why did he? What?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Why?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Harry balls to an orchid?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
God?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Good news Internationally, President Trump says he's going to try
to uh travel to Egypt this weekend to participate in
the signing of this peace agreement with Hamas, Israel's peace
agreement with Hamas. He expressed tremendous gratitude today towards the
other countries that were helping broke her.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
This deal caught her.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Egypt and Turkey made the statement while Who's had a
press cabinet meeting this morning and said envoys from the
three Arab countries were absolutely critical to securing an agreement
between Israel and Hamas. The first step of this deal
will be to return hostages. There are forty five or
(02:21):
forty eight, depending on how the numbers suss out hostages
both living and deceased, that Hamas is still holding that
they say they will turn over to Israel either Monday
or Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Priscilla lost its orchid today as it churned up. Mexico
specific coast lost its hurricane status. Tropical Storm Jerry A
strengthened on the strengthened on the Atlantic. Excuse me, but Priscilla,
despite losing its hurricane status, will it said, bring us
thunderstorms and rain from today through the weekend.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Here we could have some weird weather.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I was watching the radar map and there is a
line of a line of storm, a line of rain
that's making its way basically up the fifteen Freeway from
San Gabriel Valley up through the Cajon Pass into Victorville, etc.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
We mentioned this earlier. Yesterday we learned about the arrest
in connection with the Palisades fire man arrested in Florida
for starting that fire six days earlier, and it's smoldering
until it wiped out Pacific Palisades six days later, killed
twelve people. As that investigation plays out before a grand jury,
the La Fire Department has released an after action report
(03:41):
detailing successes and challenges inadequate initial resources, firefighter exhaustion. The
city has played Monday Morning quarterback and has decided that
it will now change protocol when it comes to the
disastrous fire. Conditions we knew were all coming that before
the fire took off.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
They talked about staffing levels, they talked about preparedness, beforehand,
they talked about what to do in the event that
you have firefighters working for thirty six forty eight hours
at a time and the incredible danger that that postes
to them, but not just to them, but to the
people that they're trying to save.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
New law will make California the first state to face
some ultraprocessed food out of school meals. New some side
legislation this week that prohibits public schools from serving children
ultra processed foods of concerned in breakfasts or lunches.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
That's good news.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yeah, I wish it would. I wish the state wouldn't
have to get in and ban them. I wish that
people would just be smart enough to not eat them.
But when we're talking about kids, if these are the
only options that are available to them, we need to
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Well, and a lot of kids don't have They get
their breakfast and lunch at school.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
That's what I mean. Yeah, if that's what we have
to do. People are disappointed with Lebron's round two of
the decision. Yeah they should be. Yeah, agree, uh, Lebron James.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Lebron James being sued by fans because when he started
the whispers about a second decision. Everybody thought that he
was going to announce his retirement, that this upcoming might
be his last NBA season. It turned out it was
just an ad for Hennessy, or, as the kids like
(05:30):
to say, Henny. Many fans rushed to buy Lakers tickets,
especially that last home game in April. Andrew Garcia, twenty
nine year old fan, said he wanted to be in
the building to see King James face the Cleveland Cavaliers
one last time March thirty first, and spent almost nine
hundred bucks on a couple of tickets, only for them
(05:51):
to lose all the value when it turned out that
that was a Hennessy ad and not a retirement a
retirement announcement.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
The Dodgers take on for Dodger bag.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
The Phillies Game four, two day at three eight and
early first pitch start at Chavez Ravine. Dodgers hope to
tie this up the NLDS versus the Phillies move on
to take on what could be the Brewers, what could
be the Cubs. The Dodgers with the most expensive team,
(06:27):
the Brewers, I believe, with the cheapest that remains.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
At least yeah in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I think you're right, Tyler Glasstan will start for the Dodgers,
Christopher Sanchez for the Phillies. Of course, you can listen
to all the action on our friendly station down the hall.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
They're so friendly down there, aren't they. They are. It's nice.
They could be a bunch of they could be a
bunch of a holes, they could be awful, but you
know what they're not.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
They're guys that know that they get to wake up
every morning and talk about sports for a living, and
so they're just lovely.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, they don't take it for granted there. They have
that Buddhist attitude of traffic. It's trying. It's the Buddhist
attitude good. It's not bad. It's just peace.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
They're full of peace down there, from Rogan and Rodney
to Petros and Money. I'm feeling peaceful just mentioning their name.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Do you feel that it brings you peace? Just to
save them feel peaceful? E bikes coming up?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Gary and Shannon, regarding the e bikes, You're not the
only one with the get off my lawn. I help
run an Ayso region and our biggest issue on our
fields is the e bykes that the kids come and
ride all over the fields and tear up the fields
on purpose? And what what do we have against it?
What are we able to do to them or for
(07:43):
them to stop them from doing? Because ay, they can
run away so fast and cops don't get their time.
And I am literally the get off our lawn guy
for e bikes.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Let's see, I'm not the only one. Gary and Shannon
will continue.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Do we have peace in the Middle East? Yes? Very close?
Where are we? What's the time? What's the countdown?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
So they've signed the agreements, at least the informal versions
of the agreements. President Trump right now is meeting the
finished president at the White House Alexander Stool.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Isn't he a fit young man? Stoob. That's a high
and tight haircut too, looks good. Do they have mandatory
military service in Finland? I will google it.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Israel An Hamas have agreed to a pause in the
two year war and the release of the remaining hostages
in exchange for some Palestinian prison prisoners. Still, some aspects
of this peace deal not quite worked out, or at
least agreed to yet, for example, whether or not and
how Hamas would disarm, who would come in as a
(08:52):
governing body over Gaza.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
But this is closer than we've been in a very
long time. The answer to your question is yes, and
listen to this. Yes, Finland has mandatory military service, which
applies to all male citizens. The service can be military,
unarmed military, or civil service, with lengths of one hundred
and sixty five, two hundred and fifty five or three
hundred and forty seven days, depending on the chosen path.
(09:17):
Listen to this eligibility. All male Finnish citizens are subject
to compulsory service between the ages of eighteen and sixty.
You can get around to it whenever you're ready for it. Really,
how cool is that?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I think that's great. I don't know if I want
people waiting that long.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Well, you're not going to be in the armed military
if you're waiting until you're your age.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
But I think there's a value in that mandatory service
of some kind.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I think too.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
But if you're if you've got like a young family
or something, and you're trying to put it all together
and you don't have time, like I can see that
where you're gonna wait, put it off.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Maybe you want to get away? Get away? What are
you a Kalgon commercial? What's going on Southwest or Calgon?
You're right, that's more Southwest. I think Calgon's uh take
me away? Right.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Thank you for setting the record straight on the Calgon
commercial on No, I want to hear the end of that.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I was gonna say whenever I mentioned old commercials like that.
My wife always asks me how much TV did you
wash as a kid, And I say, I watched all
of it well as I could.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
So my husband wasn't allowed to watch TV as a kid.
It was very sparingly used a television in that home.
So when he does watch it, it's like he's a
kid where he's locked in trying to soak in as
much as possible. Yeah, I've never told him this rule. Yeah,
I've never told him this, but I've noticed it. It's
(10:48):
like you go back to when you're a kid and
you're like, oh, it's on, Like I'm going to soak
in whatever the idiot box is telling me.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Right, yes, and.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Like to this day, like he pays attention to the
televis when it's on, and he watches very little television
but when he does, I mean he is locked in
and like he will tell you what all the commercials are.
He watches them, he listens to all of them. He
is focused on them. And I think it goes back
to it being a thing that he didn't get as
(11:17):
a kid. So when I was a kid, the TV
was on the every day, all the day, all the
you know, we'd eat dinner in front of the television
a lot of the time. So it wasn't like a
taboo thing. It was always there. I had a television
in my room. You know, this is all very telling,
isn't it. But but so like I don't you know,
it's to me, it's not like a treat, right for him,
(11:39):
it's kind of like a treat like, Oh, what's on that?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
The first time he's tasted sweets?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Right?
Speaker 2 (11:44):

if it is an old grumpy person thing to say.
I do not like e bikes. I've ridden them. They
are an absolute blast. They are so much fun. And
(12:33):
I live on a hill, so older folks in my
neighborhood that previously may not have gotten outside because they
don't want to walk back up the hill are now outside.
At least they have the battery assists that will help
them back up the hill when they're riding their bikes around.
So I there's plenty of positives for e bikes. I
(12:54):
feel like parents are getting them for their kids because
no kids dropping four or five bucks on one of
these e bikes. If not more, parents are getting for
their kids without realizing how fast they are and how
their kids are riding these bikes through neighborhoods, through main streets,
(13:14):
et cetera. I mean, we had that guy on talkback
suggests that one of the they're riding them through you
know these fields, these athletic fields, and tearing up the
fields with these big knobby tires and things like that.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I know a couple of parents who know how fast
they are and continue to let their kids use them.
And I say nothing because I am not a parent
and it's none of my business. But that would terrify me.
Terrify me if my kid was on something that goes
forty miles an hour and they do not have a
license or understand the rules of.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
The road or what have you.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
And what the parents will tell you is, well, if
they do it says right here on the box, it
doesn't go faster than nineteen miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Lady.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
So my son was was modifying airsoft guns, Yeah, to
shoot subsonic weapon, you know, ballistics.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
They can they find ways ways, We'll do that, huhat.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
It's a great learning tool for them to learn about
physics and electronics.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
But still it's.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Even at twenty miles an hour, that's a child on
a bike unprotected by the car, for example, that we
surround ourselves with when we're going twenty miles an hour.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
And they do look more and more like motorcycles. Yeah,
and nobody has caught up with it. There are we
went through this before. There are rules about how fast
something can go, whether it has functioning pedals and a chain,
et cetera, and what it would be considered. Is it
an e motorcycle or is it an e bike And
(14:46):
there's a difference between the two, and they're kind of
handled differently. Some of them have to be licensed, others
don't have to be licensed. It's one of those things
that should This is one of the things I would
like to see the state legislature at least classify these things.
I'm not saying you need to restrict them necessarily or
determine who you need a license to ride one versus
(15:08):
the other. But the more information I think parents have
available to them about these types of things to say
for everybody is going.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
To be the more you know, Gary, that is, the
more you know the other thing is that.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Should be That should be the line of this show, right.
The more you know, although we don't do a lot
of things to know I guess.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
There is a lawyer for a trade association called People
for Bikes.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
His name is Matt Moore.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
This lawyer said COVID sparked a lot of interest in
both bicycles in general, but e bikes specifically, and that
e bike sales soon started out pacing electric car sales nationally.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah. I can see that, and.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I know, like I said, I know a handful of
people who have bikes like this and I've ridden them
and they're a blast. Even those places of vacation spots
by the way that you go to that used to
be overrun with bicycles. You know, it's a great way
to get around some forest town or the lake or
wherever you are.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Almost all of.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Them exclusively now rent e bikes because so many more
people want those as opposed to the regular I got
to do it myself bicycle.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Well, we talked about the asteroid that came damn near
close to Earth. Apparently NASA did not know what was coming.
That's a problem. Yeah, it was the second closest approach
ever and NASA was like, now, say what what happened?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Not good?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Also, Elon Musk's Starlink satellite seemed to be falling to
the earth at an alarming rate. A strange science you
will not want to miss, including did African mammals drag
their butts? What fossils tell us about their behaviors?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
How about that? That's what I was waiting for today.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
That's why you woke up when the alarm went out
this morning. You were like, what is it?
Speaker 2 (16:59):
What is it about?
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Ship?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Thing about today? And then you just realized it.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I looked at my dog and I was like, is
it you? And he's like kinda. Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
The good news out of the Middle East.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
It looks as if Israel and Hamas have agreed to
a pause in this two year war and that they
will release the remaining hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.
This is a massive potentially, if it can hold for
even a little while, a massive foreign policy win for
President Trump. Some of the questions still to be answered
(17:42):
include whether or not or how Hamas would disarm, who
would take over and govern Gaza. But this is the
closest that we have seen to an actual not just ceasefire,
but a potential peace deal in well since the two
years began back on October seventh of twenty three.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I heard this mention this morning, and then I read
an article later today about the Israelis chanting for Trump
and the Gosin's chanting for Trump.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I mean, if he gets the tape of that, which
he will, you're going to see that. Yeah, yeah, see that.
We're all going to know exactly what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
And listen, it's not it's not insignificant to point out
that tomorrow they will be handing out the Nobel Peace
Prize that's already decided upon, though I don't know. I
don't know how they do that. That's a good question.
Do they vote, Do they vote tonight? Do they vote?
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I feel like I feel like that's done. It's like
every award, what award is decided upon the night before. Nothing. Yeah,
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
I was mentioning earlier that Ladbrooks, the the online betting portal,
actually has Trump now tied with the Sudan Emergency Response
Room as the leader for chances of getting the Nobel
Peace Prize.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
It's not my baliwick who's in the running for Nobel Prizes.
And I certainly don't know what the Sudan Emergency Response
Center does.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
But would you put money on it?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
No.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
If I had to between the two, I would say
the Sudan Emergency Response because of your point that this
is not a deal that came down in time to
meet the qualifications. That's why the movies come out in
December and not in January.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I'd put more.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Money on Week six than I went on the Nobel
Peace Price and fail at both.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
We have some great but weird science stories.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
That's why we call it strange.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
It's like weird science but strange. Well.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Earth has had a near miss twice after two small
asteroids of seemingly passed alarmingly close to US fewer than
two days apart, one of them going completely unnoticed until
hours after it had already flown by. The first incident
occurred eight days ago October first, when a small asteroid
(20:16):
designated twenty twenty five TF slipped past the Earth an
altitude of just two hundred and sixty six miles over Antarctica.
As you mentioned at the time, that's lower than the
orbit of many satellites, same range as the International Space Station.
But NASA had no idea it was headed here.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Isn't that what they get paid to do? I mean,
isn't there an entire office somewhere in the NASA building.
This does nothing but look out to find the things
that are headed directly towards us?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Does the Emperor have no clothes? Is it an empty spacesuit?
Twenty twenty five TF is between three and six feet wide.
Characterized as a near Earth asteroid. They usually burn up
in the atmosphere or leave behind minor meteorite fragments. Larger asteroids, however,
can cause serious damage. Right the twenty thirteen meteor explosion
(21:10):
over Siberia injured over one thousand people. But then, on
October second, less than a day after the fly by
of twenty five TF, astronomers in Arizona detected yet another asteroid,
this time before it arrived. It is called twenty twenty
five TQ two oh and it is a small space
(21:32):
rock that passed the Earth a distance of about three
thousand miles over Canada. Not as close but still damn close.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Too close for comfort.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Well, tactically it's a tiny little, tiny little margin.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, well within what scientists classifies a close approach. That
asteroid is estimated to be between six and a half
and fourteen and a half feet in diameter.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Well, speaking of things coming from space, there is.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
A concern that Elon Musk's Starlink satellites that go up
they're not big, they're relatively small in terms of the
size of satellites, but that they have been falling to
Earth every single day, as many as four of them
every day. Jonathan McDowell is an astronomer Tried again astronomer
(22:22):
at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics recorded an average
of between one to two Starlink satellites deorbiting or falling
to Earth and burning up in the calendar year. The
figures expected to go up to about five per day
because SpaceX continues to pump these satellites into space.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Why did we stop having bread boxes?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Well, you were just showing me how big that the
satellite was, and I thought to myself, bigger than a
bread box.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
And then I wondered where did the bread box? Where
did the bread box go?
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Is it because we decided to put the bread and
the fridge to keep it longer?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Do you put your bread in your fridge? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Oh, do you keep your bread? Do you have a
bread box. I don't have a bread You do not
have a bread box.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
I don't know why. Maybe because bread.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Do you keep your bread out? You don't have bread.
I have bread, You have bread. Where is the bread kept?
Speaker 2 (23:21):
It's wrap?
Speaker 3 (23:22):
I keep it wrapped in its little plastic bag and
I it's either on the counter or in the pantry.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Okay, but no bread box.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
I don't usually put My wife has some funny stuff
that's like pre sprouted Jehovah, not Jehovah Ezekiel bread.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
J you're just naming biblical characters like some.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Ruth bread and Matthew, Mark Luke and John bread. It's
super sekiel bread. But you have to keep that stuff
cold or else it will sprout.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Right.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
But that's really the only stuff we keep in the
fridge bread wise. I don't know bread box.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
I didn't know if there was like a physical is
it before bread had preservatives in it, so you'd have
to keep it in something that was secure, but not
the frigerator, but not too tight, right like steal box.
It's not even sealed as much as a plastic wrapper
would be.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Right.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
What happened to the bread box too? When did we
stop using them. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Stale bread is called dry, but drying and staling are
different processes. Stale bread can weigh the same as fresh bread,
on and on and on. Bread boxes are designed to
keep their constant their contents at room temperature. Okay, have
a lid loose enough to allow airflow, which would reduce
constant condensation and help prevent mold, but also have a
(24:46):
lid tight enough to slow the drying process to protect
the contents from mice and other pests like ants and flies.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
When we bought the bread in the olden days, I
don't think it was wrapped as securely as it is,
and it did not have the preservatives that the bread
has now well.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
And some yes, I think you're right. And some loaves
of bread like Dave's maybe one of them I'm thinking of,
comes sealed basically in a plastic wrapper and then comes
in its own plastic sleeve.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Oh yeah, that's extra tight.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
The bread that I enjoy is the San Louis sourdough.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Bread, and that'll keep in the fridge for six years.
Cracked wheat sealad Oh.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
My gosh, like a like a nice egg sandwich with
that stuff. Oh my goodness, how do we get from
satellites to breadbusters science?
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Gary, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
You know, the Dodgers are either gonna win or they're
going to lose. And I don't know. And he's at
the game. He's going to the game. It's a whole thing.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Do I just pour a glass of whiskey and set
it on the counter for dinner if they lose or
if they win? Does chicken go over well with both
wins and losses? Yes, you just don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
But I would stay away from like a sweet chicken. No,
do something a little, just a little spicy, spicy. Spicy
is good because on the spicy side, if the hundreds lose,
then you could say, hey, we need to burn that
out of our memory.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Oh good, good, good good.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
But if if they win, he won't even feel it,
he won't right right, right right, So maybe a little
one more shake than you would normally give.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Does he like spicy st Yeah? Okay, well, then two shakes.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
We're in the middle of a strange science. A pair
of recently discovered fossils from Africa has immortalized a one
hundred and twenty six thousand year old habit of all
the small creatures that we.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Know, dragon ass, Dragon of the butt. You don't want
to drag ass.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
The African Center for Coastal Paleo Science features a track
site and a parent butt dragging impressions believed to have
been made by a rock high rax, which is a
pretty big rodent like mammal that would resemble something like
a prairie dog or a gopher with a set of
very sharp vampiric teeth.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
They say, what does that mean? Oh, it's like a
vampire got it.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
To this day, high raxes drag their butts along the ground,
similar to a dog that might have a parasitic infection.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
So when you're dragging ass, should I call you a
high rax? Like you're being a high rax? Oh, don't
be a high rax about it when you're being lazy? Yes, okay,
you should say that.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
That would be a motivator, yes okay, But not if
I have a parasitic infection, I would prefer that you
suggest I go to the doctor.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Well, you don't go to the doctor.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
You could have parasites all up in you and we
have no idea because you haven't been the doctor since
nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
So yeah, it's trying to yeah, clap back with a date,
and I don't have one for you.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
So here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
The longer you don't go to the doctor for anything,
the shorter my caring span. When it comes to you
having a body riddled with parasites, you are never gonna
You'm not like if if you feel like the clock
starts at fifty, like every year you go past fifty
(28:30):
and you haven't been in the doctor just to see
how things are going, just to get blood and stuff
like that, Like I feel like I care I'm gonna
care less when they're like, oh, you have a worm
living in your body and it made babies and they
they're all hanging out in there and we could have
caught this. It made babies, you know, like a meeba.
How many bodies of water have you swum in?
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Swummed? Swim swamped past tense? Is swummed? No, it's not
sure it is. It's swam swim. It did not swim.
It's swam.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
It's swam or swim. It's not swummed. Swim does not
worse swimmed No, fine, it's swum or swim. That's why
we do strange science and not strange English grammar. This
is going to be a rough friday for already fighting.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
I did not swim in very many bodies of water
outside of my pool in my backyard.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Oh but what about that time that you went out
to the south on the camping.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Trip with the other boys. There was no swimming, There
was not no it was just tinting. I don't know
what that hapened. We were in a cabin.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Oh, I don't know what's sort of weird fairy tale
you had in your mind about what that weekend entailed.
But it was highly not fun compared to what you
had in your mind.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Uh well, all I know is that you and Jason
Nathanson were in a hot tub at one point, and
other details are sparse and spotty. And if you don't
give me information, then I make up all blanks, right,
got it? Swummed is not a standard English Are you
talking about swam?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
And swam are acceptable? Not swummed. Don't ever talk to
me about swimming in the past. Tense. Boba tea is
full of lead. Are you a fan of boba.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
T I've never had it. I see it even I've
had boba te Yeah, yes, Well because your daughter was
a youth, she also loved it. Yeah, it's weird, right,
So I've seen a lot people just lining up for
certain tea spots, specifically in Pasadenas, where I've seen people
lining up out the door to get this, uh, this
(30:40):
bubble tea.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
What what makes bubble tea bubble tea? Is the bulba
pearls is ice cream?
Speaker 1 (30:46):
No?
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Is it's tapioca?
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Is that just boba pearls that are made from cassava,
which is a root vegetable that absorbs everything from the soil,
including lead.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
So does it taste like the earth or does it
taste like sweet?
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Have completely blocked out of my memory what boba balls
taste like? Did they call them boba balls? I don't
know what they call them, or boba pearls I think
is what they call them.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
The balls would be weird.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Cassava, which is turns into these tapioca boba pearls actually
absorb a bunch of lead. And Consumer Reports went through
and tested the boba pearls from a couple of major
chains and the results were clear. Every single sample, whether
it came from a boba t chain or from a
(31:37):
grocery store.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Every single sample contained lead. It wasn't enough.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Wasn't enough for consumer reports to come out and say
you should not drink any boba tea ever. But it
wasn't enough for them to note that it's in present,
that it is present in all of them, and that
it's good reason to treat boba t as an occasional treat,
not as an everyday must have, like that Starbucks strength
(32:04):
that you have, because there's too much lead in them. Also,
don't eat the paint off of the house that was
painted in the nineteen forties probably also lead.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
The John Cobalt show coming up. But you give up?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
I didn't give up. Sounded like it, Well, what did
you want to say? If I heard you say boba
t one more time? I was going to put my
head through the window.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
We can hope.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
It sounds like it's going to be a fun Friday.
I don't think I need to add any spice.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
To the food. I think it's pretty spicy. All right.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
It is going to be a really big Friday because
we it's my wife's birthday, it's your wife's birthday tomorrow.
Have you done the things you get a card.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
I'm getting things. Things are, things are in motion.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Okay, yeah, okay, don't f it up because remember your
one mediocre decision away from her leaving you and you
ending up on a dating app where that woman is
going to go on a date with you and then left,
rob you of your.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Boba t balls. That robbed me of a nineteen year
old pair of boxers. Okay, disgusting. Well, that is why
she's living my life. That's why she's leaving you.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Gary and Shannon will see you tomorrow. Stay drive. Everybody
you've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app Ooh, a manhunter, I should say,
a woman hunt in Ohio right now. Police are on
the look for a woman. She broke into her boyfriend's home.
And how do I put this? Gently cooked something, stole
(00:27):
something eight something. She performed an amateur surgery on him
with a sharp object in the area of the groin,
leaving at least one of them exposed.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Had to go to the hospital right away. She bobbited him.
She got into the genitals, not the penis. Hmm. Okay,
And she's on the loose. Deorchidization orchid like the flower.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yes, yes, somebody who has multiples of that you call
them a poly orchid?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Oh? Why didn't know that? Yes? Why are you making
a connection between orchids? I didn't make then. I didn't
make up the word.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Wait, Polly, if you have two balls, you're an orchid.
If you have three, okay, Well he didn't have three,
he had the normal two.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Okay, but he can be Well. I don't know where
we're going. Why are we arguing with this? It's a
weird hill to die on right there? Tell you what
what else is going on?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Gets really tight? You go, why did he? What?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Why?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Harry balls to an orchid?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
God?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Good news Internationally, President Trump says he's going to try
to uh travel to Egypt this weekend to participate in
the signing of this peace agreement with Hamas, Israel's peace
agreement with Hamas. He expressed tremendous gratitude today towards the
other countries that were helping broke her.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
This deal caught her.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Egypt and Turkey made the statement while Who's had a
press cabinet meeting this morning and said envoys from the
three Arab countries were absolutely critical to securing an agreement
between Israel and Hamas. The first step of this deal
will be to return hostages. There are forty five or
(02:21):
forty eight, depending on how the numbers suss out hostages
both living and deceased, that Hamas is still holding that
they say they will turn over to Israel either Monday
or Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Priscilla lost its orchid today as it churned up. Mexico
specific coast lost its hurricane status. Tropical Storm Jerry A
strengthened on the strengthened on the Atlantic. Excuse me, but Priscilla,
despite losing its hurricane status, will it said, bring us
thunderstorms and rain from today through the weekend.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Here we could have some weird weather.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I was watching the radar map and there is a
line of a line of storm, a line of rain
that's making its way basically up the fifteen Freeway from
San Gabriel Valley up through the Cajon Pass into Victorville, etc.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
We mentioned this earlier. Yesterday we learned about the arrest
in connection with the Palisades fire man arrested in Florida
for starting that fire six days earlier, and it's smoldering
until it wiped out Pacific Palisades six days later, killed
twelve people. As that investigation plays out before a grand jury,
the La Fire Department has released an after action report
(03:41):
detailing successes and challenges inadequate initial resources, firefighter exhaustion. The
city has played Monday Morning quarterback and has decided that
it will now change protocol when it comes to the
disastrous fire. Conditions we knew were all coming that before
the fire took off.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
They talked about staffing levels, they talked about preparedness, beforehand,
they talked about what to do in the event that
you have firefighters working for thirty six forty eight hours
at a time and the incredible danger that that postes
to them, but not just to them, but to the
people that they're trying to save.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
New law will make California the first state to face
some ultraprocessed food out of school meals. New some side
legislation this week that prohibits public schools from serving children
ultra processed foods of concerned in breakfasts or lunches.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
That's good news.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yeah, I wish it would. I wish the state wouldn't
have to get in and ban them. I wish that
people would just be smart enough to not eat them.
But when we're talking about kids, if these are the
only options that are available to them, we need to
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Well, and a lot of kids don't have They get
their breakfast and lunch at school.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
That's what I mean. Yeah, if that's what we have
to do. People are disappointed with Lebron's round two of
the decision. Yeah they should be. Yeah, agree, uh, Lebron James.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Lebron James being sued by fans because when he started
the whispers about a second decision. Everybody thought that he
was going to announce his retirement, that this upcoming might
be his last NBA season. It turned out it was
just an ad for Hennessy, or, as the kids like
(05:30):
to say, Henny. Many fans rushed to buy Lakers tickets,
especially that last home game in April. Andrew Garcia, twenty
nine year old fan, said he wanted to be in
the building to see King James face the Cleveland Cavaliers
one last time March thirty first, and spent almost nine
hundred bucks on a couple of tickets, only for them
(05:51):
to lose all the value when it turned out that
that was a Hennessy ad and not a retirement a
retirement announcement.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
The Dodgers take on for Dodger bag.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
The Phillies Game four, two day at three eight and
early first pitch start at Chavez Ravine. Dodgers hope to
tie this up the NLDS versus the Phillies move on
to take on what could be the Brewers, what could
be the Cubs. The Dodgers with the most expensive team,
(06:27):
the Brewers, I believe, with the cheapest that remains.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
At least yeah in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I think you're right, Tyler Glasstan will start for the Dodgers,
Christopher Sanchez for the Phillies. Of course, you can listen
to all the action on our friendly station down the hall.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
They're so friendly down there, aren't they. They are. It's nice.
They could be a bunch of they could be a
bunch of a holes, they could be awful, but you
know what they're not.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
They're guys that know that they get to wake up
every morning and talk about sports for a living, and
so they're just lovely.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, they don't take it for granted there. They have
that Buddhist attitude of traffic. It's trying. It's the Buddhist
attitude good. It's not bad. It's just peace.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
They're full of peace down there, from Rogan and Rodney
to Petros and Money. I'm feeling peaceful just mentioning their name.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Do you feel that it brings you peace? Just to
save them feel peaceful? E bikes coming up?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Gary and Shannon, regarding the e bikes, You're not the
only one with the get off my lawn. I help
run an Ayso region and our biggest issue on our
fields is the e bykes that the kids come and
ride all over the fields and tear up the fields
on purpose? And what what do we have against it?
What are we able to do to them or for
(07:43):
them to stop them from doing? Because ay, they can
run away so fast and cops don't get their time.
And I am literally the get off our lawn guy
for e bikes.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Let's see, I'm not the only one. Gary and Shannon
will continue.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Do we have peace in the Middle East? Yes? Very close?
Where are we? What's the time? What's the countdown?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
So they've signed the agreements, at least the informal versions
of the agreements. President Trump right now is meeting the
finished president at the White House Alexander Stool.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Isn't he a fit young man? Stoob. That's a high
and tight haircut too, looks good. Do they have mandatory
military service in Finland? I will google it.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Israel An Hamas have agreed to a pause in the
two year war and the release of the remaining hostages
in exchange for some Palestinian prison prisoners. Still, some aspects
of this peace deal not quite worked out, or at
least agreed to yet, for example, whether or not and
how Hamas would disarm, who would come in as a
(08:52):
governing body over Gaza.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
But this is closer than we've been in a very
long time. The answer to your question is yes, and
listen to this. Yes, Finland has mandatory military service, which
applies to all male citizens. The service can be military,
unarmed military, or civil service, with lengths of one hundred
and sixty five, two hundred and fifty five or three
hundred and forty seven days, depending on the chosen path.
(09:17):
Listen to this eligibility. All male Finnish citizens are subject
to compulsory service between the ages of eighteen and sixty.
You can get around to it whenever you're ready for it. Really,
how cool is that?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I think that's great. I don't know if I want
people waiting that long.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Well, you're not going to be in the armed military
if you're waiting until you're your age.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
But I think there's a value in that mandatory service
of some kind.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I think too.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
But if you're if you've got like a young family
or something, and you're trying to put it all together
and you don't have time, like I can see that
where you're gonna wait, put it off.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Maybe you want to get away? Get away? What are
you a Kalgon commercial? What's going on Southwest or Calgon?
You're right, that's more Southwest. I think Calgon's uh take
me away? Right.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Thank you for setting the record straight on the Calgon
commercial on No, I want to hear the end of that.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I was gonna say whenever I mentioned old commercials like that.
My wife always asks me how much TV did you
wash as a kid, And I say, I watched all
of it well as I could.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
So my husband wasn't allowed to watch TV as a kid.
It was very sparingly used a television in that home.
So when he does watch it, it's like he's a
kid where he's locked in trying to soak in as
much as possible. Yeah, I've never told him this rule. Yeah,
I've never told him this, but I've noticed it. It's
(10:48):
like you go back to when you're a kid and
you're like, oh, it's on, Like I'm going to soak
in whatever the idiot box is telling me.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Right, yes, and.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Like to this day, like he pays attention to the
televis when it's on, and he watches very little television
but when he does, I mean he is locked in
and like he will tell you what all the commercials are.
He watches them, he listens to all of them. He
is focused on them. And I think it goes back
to it being a thing that he didn't get as
(11:17):
a kid. So when I was a kid, the TV
was on the every day, all the day, all the
you know, we'd eat dinner in front of the television
a lot of the time. So it wasn't like a
taboo thing. It was always there. I had a television
in my room. You know, this is all very telling,
isn't it. But but so like I don't you know,
it's to me, it's not like a treat, right for him,
(11:39):
it's kind of like a treat like, Oh, what's on that?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
The first time he's tasted sweets?
Speaker 1 (11:43):

Speaker 2 (11:44):

if it is an old grumpy person thing to say.
I do not like e bikes. I've ridden them. They
are an absolute blast. They are so much fun. And
(12:33):
I live on a hill, so older folks in my
neighborhood that previously may not have gotten outside because they
don't want to walk back up the hill are now outside.
At least they have the battery assists that will help
them back up the hill when they're riding their bikes around.
So I there's plenty of positives for e bikes. I
(12:54):
feel like parents are getting them for their kids because
no kids dropping four or five bucks on one of
these e bikes. If not more, parents are getting for
their kids without realizing how fast they are and how
their kids are riding these bikes through neighborhoods, through main streets,
(13:14):
et cetera. I mean, we had that guy on talkback
suggests that one of the they're riding them through you
know these fields, these athletic fields, and tearing up the
fields with these big knobby tires and things like that.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I know a couple of parents who know how fast
they are and continue to let their kids use them.
And I say nothing because I am not a parent
and it's none of my business. But that would terrify me.
Terrify me if my kid was on something that goes
forty miles an hour and they do not have a
license or understand the rules of.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
The road or what have you.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
And what the parents will tell you is, well, if
they do it says right here on the box, it
doesn't go faster than nineteen miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Lady.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
So my son was was modifying airsoft guns, Yeah, to
shoot subsonic weapon, you know, ballistics.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
They can they find ways ways, We'll do that, huhat.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
It's a great learning tool for them to learn about
physics and electronics.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
But still it's.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Even at twenty miles an hour, that's a child on
a bike unprotected by the car, for example, that we
surround ourselves with when we're going twenty miles an hour.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
And they do look more and more like motorcycles. Yeah,
and nobody has caught up with it. There are we
went through this before. There are rules about how fast
something can go, whether it has functioning pedals and a chain,
et cetera, and what it would be considered. Is it
an e motorcycle or is it an e bike And
(14:46):
there's a difference between the two, and they're kind of
handled differently. Some of them have to be licensed, others
don't have to be licensed. It's one of those things
that should This is one of the things I would
like to see the state legislature at least classify these things.
I'm not saying you need to restrict them necessarily or
determine who you need a license to ride one versus
(15:08):
the other. But the more information I think parents have
available to them about these types of things to say
for everybody is going.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
To be the more you know, Gary, that is, the
more you know the other thing is that.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Should be That should be the line of this show, right.
The more you know, although we don't do a lot
of things to know I guess.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
There is a lawyer for a trade association called People
for Bikes.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
His name is Matt Moore.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
This lawyer said COVID sparked a lot of interest in
both bicycles in general, but e bikes specifically, and that
e bike sales soon started out pacing electric car sales nationally.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah. I can see that, and.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I know, like I said, I know a handful of
people who have bikes like this and I've ridden them
and they're a blast. Even those places of vacation spots
by the way that you go to that used to
be overrun with bicycles. You know, it's a great way
to get around some forest town or the lake or
wherever you are.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Almost all of.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Them exclusively now rent e bikes because so many more
people want those as opposed to the regular I got
to do it myself bicycle.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Well, we talked about the asteroid that came damn near
close to Earth. Apparently NASA did not know what was coming.
That's a problem. Yeah, it was the second closest approach
ever and NASA was like, now, say what what happened?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Not good?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Also, Elon Musk's Starlink satellite seemed to be falling to
the earth at an alarming rate. A strange science you
will not want to miss, including did African mammals drag
their butts? What fossils tell us about their behaviors?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
How about that? That's what I was waiting for today.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
That's why you woke up when the alarm went out
this morning. You were like, what is it?
Speaker 2 (16:59):
What is it about?
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Ship?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Thing about today? And then you just realized it.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I looked at my dog and I was like, is
it you? And he's like kinda. Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
The good news out of the Middle East.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
It looks as if Israel and Hamas have agreed to
a pause in this two year war and that they
will release the remaining hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.
This is a massive potentially, if it can hold for
even a little while, a massive foreign policy win for
President Trump. Some of the questions still to be answered
(17:42):
include whether or not or how Hamas would disarm, who
would take over and govern Gaza. But this is the
closest that we have seen to an actual not just ceasefire,
but a potential peace deal in well since the two
years began back on October seventh of twenty three.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I heard this mention this morning, and then I read
an article later today about the Israelis chanting for Trump
and the Gosin's chanting for Trump.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I mean, if he gets the tape of that, which
he will, you're going to see that. Yeah, yeah, see that.
We're all going to know exactly what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
And listen, it's not it's not insignificant to point out
that tomorrow they will be handing out the Nobel Peace
Prize that's already decided upon, though I don't know. I
don't know how they do that. That's a good question.
Do they vote, Do they vote tonight? Do they vote?
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I feel like I feel like that's done. It's like
every award, what award is decided upon the night before. Nothing. Yeah,
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
I was mentioning earlier that Ladbrooks, the the online betting portal,
actually has Trump now tied with the Sudan Emergency Response
Room as the leader for chances of getting the Nobel
Peace Prize.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
It's not my baliwick who's in the running for Nobel Prizes.
And I certainly don't know what the Sudan Emergency Response
Center does.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
But would you put money on it?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
No.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
If I had to between the two, I would say
the Sudan Emergency Response because of your point that this
is not a deal that came down in time to
meet the qualifications. That's why the movies come out in
December and not in January.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I'd put more.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Money on Week six than I went on the Nobel
Peace Price and fail at both.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
We have some great but weird science stories.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
That's why we call it strange.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
It's like weird science but strange. Well.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Earth has had a near miss twice after two small
asteroids of seemingly passed alarmingly close to US fewer than
two days apart, one of them going completely unnoticed until
hours after it had already flown by. The first incident
occurred eight days ago October first, when a small asteroid
(20:16):
designated twenty twenty five TF slipped past the Earth an
altitude of just two hundred and sixty six miles over Antarctica.
As you mentioned at the time, that's lower than the
orbit of many satellites, same range as the International Space Station.
But NASA had no idea it was headed here.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Isn't that what they get paid to do? I mean,
isn't there an entire office somewhere in the NASA building.
This does nothing but look out to find the things
that are headed directly towards us?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Does the Emperor have no clothes? Is it an empty spacesuit?
Twenty twenty five TF is between three and six feet wide.
Characterized as a near Earth asteroid. They usually burn up
in the atmosphere or leave behind minor meteorite fragments. Larger asteroids, however,
can cause serious damage. Right the twenty thirteen meteor explosion
(21:10):
over Siberia injured over one thousand people. But then, on
October second, less than a day after the fly by
of twenty five TF, astronomers in Arizona detected yet another asteroid,
this time before it arrived. It is called twenty twenty
five TQ two oh and it is a small space
(21:32):
rock that passed the Earth a distance of about three
thousand miles over Canada. Not as close but still damn close.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Too close for comfort.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Well, tactically it's a tiny little, tiny little margin.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, well within what scientists classifies a close approach. That
asteroid is estimated to be between six and a half
and fourteen and a half feet in diameter.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Well, speaking of things coming from space, there is.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
A concern that Elon Musk's Starlink satellites that go up
they're not big, they're relatively small in terms of the
size of satellites, but that they have been falling to
Earth every single day, as many as four of them
every day. Jonathan McDowell is an astronomer Tried again astronomer
(22:22):
at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics recorded an average
of between one to two Starlink satellites deorbiting or falling
to Earth and burning up in the calendar year. The
figures expected to go up to about five per day
because SpaceX continues to pump these satellites into space.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Why did we stop having bread boxes?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Well, you were just showing me how big that the
satellite was, and I thought to myself, bigger than a
bread box.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
And then I wondered where did the bread box? Where
did the bread box go?
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Is it because we decided to put the bread and
the fridge to keep it longer?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Do you put your bread in your fridge? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Oh, do you keep your bread? Do you have a
bread box. I don't have a bread You do not
have a bread box.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
I don't know why. Maybe because bread.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Do you keep your bread out? You don't have bread.
I have bread, You have bread. Where is the bread kept?
Speaker 2 (23:21):
It's wrap?
Speaker 3 (23:22):
I keep it wrapped in its little plastic bag and
I it's either on the counter or in the pantry.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Okay, but no bread box.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
I don't usually put My wife has some funny stuff
that's like pre sprouted Jehovah, not Jehovah Ezekiel bread.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
J you're just naming biblical characters like some.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Ruth bread and Matthew, Mark Luke and John bread. It's
super sekiel bread. But you have to keep that stuff
cold or else it will sprout.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Right.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
But that's really the only stuff we keep in the
fridge bread wise. I don't know bread box.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
I didn't know if there was like a physical is
it before bread had preservatives in it, so you'd have
to keep it in something that was secure, but not
the frigerator, but not too tight, right like steal box.
It's not even sealed as much as a plastic wrapper
would be.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Right.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
What happened to the bread box too? When did we
stop using them. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Stale bread is called dry, but drying and staling are
different processes. Stale bread can weigh the same as fresh bread,
on and on and on. Bread boxes are designed to
keep their constant their contents at room temperature. Okay, have
a lid loose enough to allow airflow, which would reduce
constant condensation and help prevent mold, but also have a
(24:46):
lid tight enough to slow the drying process to protect
the contents from mice and other pests like ants and flies.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
When we bought the bread in the olden days, I
don't think it was wrapped as securely as it is,
and it did not have the preservatives that the bread
has now well.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
And some yes, I think you're right. And some loaves
of bread like Dave's maybe one of them I'm thinking of,
comes sealed basically in a plastic wrapper and then comes
in its own plastic sleeve.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Oh yeah, that's extra tight.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
The bread that I enjoy is the San Louis sourdough.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Bread, and that'll keep in the fridge for six years.
Cracked wheat sealad Oh.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
My gosh, like a like a nice egg sandwich with
that stuff. Oh my goodness, how do we get from
satellites to breadbusters science?
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Gary, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
You know, the Dodgers are either gonna win or they're
going to lose. And I don't know. And he's at
the game. He's going to the game. It's a whole thing.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Do I just pour a glass of whiskey and set
it on the counter for dinner if they lose or
if they win? Does chicken go over well with both
wins and losses? Yes, you just don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
But I would stay away from like a sweet chicken. No,
do something a little, just a little spicy, spicy. Spicy
is good because on the spicy side, if the hundreds lose,
then you could say, hey, we need to burn that
out of our memory.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Oh good, good, good good.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
But if if they win, he won't even feel it,
he won't right right, right right, So maybe a little
one more shake than you would normally give.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Does he like spicy st Yeah? Okay, well, then two shakes.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
We're in the middle of a strange science. A pair
of recently discovered fossils from Africa has immortalized a one
hundred and twenty six thousand year old habit of all
the small creatures that we.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Know, dragon ass, Dragon of the butt. You don't want
to drag ass.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
The African Center for Coastal Paleo Science features a track
site and a parent butt dragging impressions believed to have
been made by a rock high rax, which is a
pretty big rodent like mammal that would resemble something like
a prairie dog or a gopher with a set of
very sharp vampiric teeth.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
They say, what does that mean? Oh, it's like a
vampire got it.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
To this day, high raxes drag their butts along the ground,
similar to a dog that might have a parasitic infection.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
So when you're dragging ass, should I call you a
high rax? Like you're being a high rax? Oh, don't
be a high rax about it when you're being lazy? Yes, okay,
you should say that.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
That would be a motivator, yes okay, But not if
I have a parasitic infection, I would prefer that you
suggest I go to the doctor.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Well, you don't go to the doctor.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
You could have parasites all up in you and we
have no idea because you haven't been the doctor since
nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
So yeah, it's trying to yeah, clap back with a date,
and I don't have one for you.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
So here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
The longer you don't go to the doctor for anything,
the shorter my caring span. When it comes to you
having a body riddled with parasites, you are never gonna
You'm not like if if you feel like the clock
starts at fifty, like every year you go past fifty
(28:30):
and you haven't been in the doctor just to see
how things are going, just to get blood and stuff
like that, Like I feel like I care I'm gonna
care less when they're like, oh, you have a worm
living in your body and it made babies and they
they're all hanging out in there and we could have
caught this. It made babies, you know, like a meeba.
How many bodies of water have you swum in?
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Swummed? Swim swamped past tense? Is swummed? No, it's not
sure it is. It's swam swim. It did not swim.
It's swam.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
It's swam or swim. It's not swummed. Swim does not
worse swimmed No, fine, it's swum or swim. That's why
we do strange science and not strange English grammar. This
is going to be a rough friday for already fighting.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
I did not swim in very many bodies of water
outside of my pool in my backyard.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Oh but what about that time that you went out
to the south on the camping.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Trip with the other boys. There was no swimming, There
was not no it was just tinting. I don't know
what that hapened. We were in a cabin.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Oh, I don't know what's sort of weird fairy tale
you had in your mind about what that weekend entailed.
But it was highly not fun compared to what you
had in your mind.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Uh well, all I know is that you and Jason
Nathanson were in a hot tub at one point, and
other details are sparse and spotty. And if you don't
give me information, then I make up all blanks, right,
got it? Swummed is not a standard English Are you
talking about swam?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
And swam are acceptable? Not swummed. Don't ever talk to
me about swimming in the past. Tense. Boba tea is
full of lead. Are you a fan of boba.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
T I've never had it. I see it even I've
had boba te Yeah, yes, Well because your daughter was
a youth, she also loved it. Yeah, it's weird, right,
So I've seen a lot people just lining up for
certain tea spots, specifically in Pasadenas, where I've seen people
lining up out the door to get this, uh, this
(30:40):
bubble tea.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
What what makes bubble tea bubble tea? Is the bulba
pearls is ice cream?
Speaker 1 (30:46):
No?
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Is it's tapioca?
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Is that just boba pearls that are made from cassava,
which is a root vegetable that absorbs everything from the soil,
including lead.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
So does it taste like the earth or does it
taste like sweet?
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Have completely blocked out of my memory what boba balls
taste like? Did they call them boba balls? I don't
know what they call them, or boba pearls I think
is what they call them.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
The balls would be weird.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Cassava, which is turns into these tapioca boba pearls actually
absorb a bunch of lead. And Consumer Reports went through
and tested the boba pearls from a couple of major
chains and the results were clear. Every single sample, whether
it came from a boba t chain or from a
(31:37):
grocery store.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Every single sample contained lead. It wasn't enough.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Wasn't enough for consumer reports to come out and say
you should not drink any boba tea ever. But it
wasn't enough for them to note that it's in present,
that it is present in all of them, and that
it's good reason to treat boba t as an occasional treat,
not as an everyday must have, like that Starbucks strength
(32:04):
that you have, because there's too much lead in them. Also,
don't eat the paint off of the house that was
painted in the nineteen forties probably also lead.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
The John Cobalt show coming up. But you give up?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
I didn't give up. Sounded like it, Well, what did
you want to say? If I heard you say boba
t one more time? I was going to put my
head through the window.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
We can hope.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
It sounds like it's going to be a fun Friday.
I don't think I need to add any spice.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
To the food. I think it's pretty spicy. All right.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
It is going to be a really big Friday because
we it's my wife's birthday, it's your wife's birthday tomorrow.
Have you done the things you get a card.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
I'm getting things. Things are, things are in motion.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Okay, yeah, okay, don't f it up because remember your
one mediocre decision away from her leaving you and you
ending up on a dating app where that woman is
going to go on a date with you and then left,
rob you of your.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Boba t balls. That robbed me of a nineteen year
old pair of boxers. Okay, disgusting. Well, that is why
she's living my life. That's why she's leaving you.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Gary and Shannon will see you tomorrow. Stay drive. Everybody
you've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
